if murdoch needs kerik to stay quiet, then he needs to find a way to get the word to bernie that murdoch can do more for him in whatever is left of his future than the fbi can. murdoch and his new york team know how weak bernie kerik is. if they have to count on him to keep their secrets, they must be very, very worried tonight. >> my choice ultimately was and is bernie kerik. bernie is a -- has been an exceptional commissioner of the department of corrections. he understands the job of being a police officer. most importantly, he understands the job of being a leader, and he brings a quality of leadership that i believe can give us the opportunity to build on a record that is a very, very difficult one to match. somewhere in america, there's a doctor who can peer into the future. there's a nurse who can access in an instant every patient's past. and because the whole hospital's working together, there's a family who can breathe easy, right now. somewhere in america, we've already answered some of the nation's toughest healthcare questions. and the over 60,000 people of siemens are ready
